<div class="textblock"><p>AngelScript supports the concept for configuration groups. This can be used for example by application plug-ins that wish to register their own interface with the script engine. When the plug-in is later removed, the configuration group for that plug-in can also be removed from the AngelScript interface without having to reinitialize everything.</p>
<p>To register part of the interface in a configuration group, the registration should be done between calls to <a class="el" href="classas_i_script_engine.html#ac81014e50dd7efc1920adcb3fd2d1e5d">BeginConfigGroup</a> and <a class="el" href="classas_i_script_engine.html#a4cc5ed7ea71811655f7910d298bb5a02">EndConfigGroup</a>. This can be done as many times as desired, but groups cannot be nested.</p>
<p>To remove a configuration group the method <a class="el" href="classas_i_script_engine.html#ab607be7fe727cdcce502d2beedbf4c0a">RemoveConfigGroup</a> should be called with the name given to the BeginConfigGroup. It is only possible to remove a config group that is not currently in use. Possible causes that prevents the removal of a group may be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Another registered a function outside the group uses a type from the group</li>
<li>A script is currently built that uses a type or function from the group</li>
<li>An instance of a script object that uses a type or function from the group is alive</li>
</ul>
<p>It can be difficult to determine exactly where the use comes from so here's a few steps to do when RemoveConfigGroup returns <a class="el" href="angelscript_8h.html#a6e2a1647f02f2c5da931bab09e860f54ae38f8f5613a631df20d2cc105aafc612">asCONFIG_GROUP_IS_IN_USE</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Run a full cycle on the <a class="el" href="doc_gc.html">garbage collector</a> to destroy lingering objects</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classas_i_script_engine.html#afb0ce55e5846eb18afdcf906aeb67cf7">Discard</a> any module that may have been compiled with the group</li>
<li>Double check that no other group uses the entities from the group </li>
</ul>
